Firefox for Android Community Forum

Hi, this issue has been present for a long time for me, and with many versions of Firefox Nightly for Android.

I'm always using the latest nightly for browsing Youtube only, with a set of specific settings and addons (since we can't use profiles on Android yet)

My problem is I've configured the Homepage to never show anything but a few URLs I chose to pin, you can see my settings and my homepage in the screenshots attached.

Despite the "Recently visited" setting being disabled, sometimes, but not everytime, the last pages I visited are added to the Homepage, after the pinned sites. I have no idea what triggers it or not, if I'm doing something wrong or if it's a bug.

Thanks for your help !

The latest update of Firefox for Android (130.0 (Build #2016041319)) removed the ability to swipe away the "Tab Closed Undo" bar that shows up when closing a tab.

If a user closes the last tab, a purple-ish bar appears at the bottom of the screen that reads "Tab Closed" on the left and "Undo" in a different font on the right. In previous versions of Firefox for Android a user could swipe away this bar to make it go away. In the current version that is no longer possible and I would really appreciate having that back.

(Honestly I would actually really appreciate never seeing the bar since I can access closed tabs via the History and I really dislike the bar.)

Dear mozilla,

I have just upgraded from a Galaxy A52, to an S24. However, whenever I want to quit Firefox, I keep tapping "print" (several times a day), because "quit" is now just outside of the screen borders. In "customize" I cannot find an option to overcome this problem.

Kind regards,

Frank

I enjoy using Firefox for its clarity, security, and overall performance. However, on my Android tablet, switching between tabs can be difficult. I would love to have a tab bar at the top, similar to the desktop version, for easier access to specific tabs. The current swipe gesture to change tabs is useful but doesn't allow me to see all open tabs at a glance. Additionally, I’d appreciate an extension for auto-refreshing tabs and a setting for desktop view, so that when I enable it, all tabs—including future ones—open in desktop mode. However, it should still be possible to switch individual tabs back to mobile view if needed.

Thanks Subhankar

1. The homepage backgrounds need updating, I should be able to add manual wallpaper from my phone. 2. The bookmarks on homepage are in a sliding manner which requires one extra step to open prefered bookmark from home page specially when I have several bookmarks. They should be more accessible as in the form of already expanded tiles rather than just a show all button. 3. The bookmarks if removed from homepage once, can't be placed there again even though they appear inside the bookmark tab. There should be an option to add bookmarks to homepage. 4. Please bring amoled theme for firefox.

I want to have tab icon for bookmark on main screen on android tab, this isvery much important , for Windows there have option for bookmark toolbar, in the same way need fix shortcut for website , as shortcut is available but when I sync with laptop unable to add or edit shortcut, on that place history coming.

One more problem, need to have mouse scrolling works for refreshing the page or please add one add on for page reload

Thanks

Why firefox has not been able to add a very convenient feature of organising bookmarks in the bookmarks list, like dragging specific bookmarks up and down in order to gather similar bookmarks together, as per requirement? This bookmark managemwnt and organisation feature is a must in such a wonderful browser to make it even more convenient to use. Please add this feature.

Hello guys !!

I wanted to disable the prefetching/preloaad pages and I found some entries on about:config that I had to change. Some of those are here on the official support site and some not, I found them on another forum.

Here's the list: network.prefetch-next (false)

network.dns.disablePrefetch (false)

network.dns.disablePrefetch.FromHTTPS (false)

network.http.speculative-parallel-limit (0)

browser.urlbar.speculativeConnect.enabled (false)

So, my questions are: 1. All these expect one "browser.urlbar.speculativeConnect.enabled" are available on android (nightly). Is there and i can't find it or it's indeed not available ??

2. Is the "network.http.speculative-parallel-limit" works only for http or it works and for https as well ?? Is there some setting to geti it to work for https if it doesn't ??

3. Is true that the "network.dns.disablePrefetch" and/or "network.dns.disablePrefetch.FromHTTPS" doesn't work (if i disable it) if i have turned on the dns over https ??

4. Are there other settings that I need to configurate or I'm good with these ??

Thanks in advance !!

I have 8000 bookmarks! =there's no way to scroll down by holding an arrow key on bottom right corner alike Firefox desktop on my mac, bc there s no key present at all...I see a small site marker tab which moves to show place, but.guess how many times I'd have to swipe down the middle of the screen to get the bottom of bookmarks!!?

  Its about 500 finger scrolls!  Isn't there a app or tweak to ma!me all bookmarks roll top to bottom, w.ok having to hand every page from the top?!

Sorry this is not a question but I can't find a email for Mozilla mobile for android we need a way to make it harder to accidently close a tab and also an option is setting to bringing back said closed tab with a longer time not 3seconds so who ever gets this please send it to a Mozilla worker.

Why is there not an option to turn this off. It is way too easy to close tab when scrolling up or down to find a tab. This is a dumb feature that needs to be toggled off.

Hello guys !!

Is there any way to remove the address bar icons (reading mode, translate, share) ??

Even without showing the "https" and/or the "www' the address is very small and these icons making it worse.
